RAGHURAJPUR HANDICRAFTS VILLAGE, PURI

Raghurajpur is known for the Pattachitra painters and is developed as a heritage village to showcase and preserve this unique art form. The painters create beautiful art on cloth, dried palm leaf or paper. The walls of the houses in this village are also decorated with beautiful mythological murals. The idea of visiting this village is not to see and experience the local lifestyle of villagers from Odisha but to witness and propagate this dying art form. If you are an art connoisseur then you should make a trip to this village, located about 10 kms from Puri.
